I do think that the film is anti-gay, in some ways.

Even in many ways!!

I am not sure I understand to what you refer.  Can you elaborate on what you mean when you say BbM is anti-gay "in many ways"?

Artiste, I think that BBM is brutally honest about the reality for many Gay men, not only in 1963 but even today. Thanks for your comment, it has made me consider whether or not it is anti-Gay. I don't believe that BBM is anti-Gay, but it delivers a good right punch at Homophobia and the closet.

Artiste:
Thanks to all!

There are some gay men who refuse to see the movie again!

It is so hard, that you do feel that there is an anti-gay aspect of it,
in some or too many ways??

Awaiting your news,
hugs!

Oh, come to my next art exhibition of the paintings I create:
it is from September 11th to September 24th inclusively 2007,
at the very beautiful La Galerie Le 1040, at, 1040 Marie-Anne Est Street,
Montreal! Bienvenue, yes welcome! This will NOT be an anti-gay nor anti-peace exhibition, as I will be there!!

Great post.  I also think BBM is an anti prejudice story.  If Jack and Ennis had been allowed to follow their true feelings and to just be together and love each other I don't think anyone else would have gotten hurt because Alma and Lureen would have been out of the picture.  Ennis would not have married Alma and Jack would never have met Lureen. Of course it didn't work out that way and they had to try to play by society's rules and to make liars out of themselves because society would not have allowed them to do otherwise.

Well said Bucky, I couldn,t have put that better myself. That is exactly right. :)

Bucky, you took the words right out of my mouth  :) You said exactly what i feel is true and what I believe would have happened if Jack and Ennis could have been together. And the really sad thing is that there are so many people out there right now living the same way. They cannot be themselves because of what society expects from them. The outcome is often that other people become involved in their lives because they feel that they have to live a lie. It is sad, but true.

And Artiste, I am really confused as to why you think this movie is anti-gay. I'm just not quite sure what you mean by that. Please explain further. Thanks.
